Las Vegas Area Homes for Sale

Cash REMAINS KING in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market!!! It is important for every buyer in the Las Vegas Area Real Estate Market to understand who their buyer competition is in this currently competitive seller's market LV is enjoying! It is important to understand how a seller looks at each financing type:

Cash Offers: Generally have less contingencies and quicker close times. A cash offer may be accepted even if it is lower than a financed offer.

Conventional Financing: Less strict with lender required repairs but larger down payments and more strict credit guidelines.

FHA/VA Financing: Requires more scrutiny with lender required repairs via appraisal. In general these take longer to underwrite and close so a cash or conventional offer looks more enticing to the seller. FHA Requires the deed to be seasoned for several months so some flips bought at trustee's sales are generally out as options when competing with multiple offers!

Other: Less common and creative financing types such as Lease Options, OWC (Owner Will Carry), etc. The "other" category INCLUDES auction terms!!

Renee I loved reading thoroughly this post as all the ones you write are excellent about Henderson and the North Las Vegas area. Reminding people how cash is king and can trump and knock other offers off the table is a very good point. I see this happen all the time for the very reasons you elaborated on.

renee - I'm seeing this trend in several area that had the boom and bust, and I can understand how cash buyers are able to get a deal done where someone who has to have a mortgage may not be able to. Imagine the savings in closing cost, and not having to deal with appraisers. You could buy an empty home in one week if you have a good title company. Las Vegas seems to have a lot of cash buyers right now, and I would think it's a better bet than the slot machines.
